A lot of suggestions for TMY.
Well I wasn't considering anything besides HP5+ or Tri-X
because I thought either would work well in my D76. I was
trying to go from the developer to the film.
My reasoning to stick with D76 is because it's good stuff
at a great price, easy to get, and keeps a long time.
Is TMax going to work well in D76? Or am I going to lose
the advantage of the special emulsion, and it'll just
look like Tri-X?

I've used TMY in D-76 1:1 for years. Its close to being
an optimum developer although Xtol is probably a bit better.
My understanding is that the D-76 was the developer used
when T-Max was being researched. It works well with both TMX
and TMY although there are better choices for P-3200.
For extra fine grain try T-Max 100 in either Microdol-X
or Perceptol full strength. The grain rivals Technical Pan
at about five times the speed and no problems with
controlling contrast.
